General Information
The Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) is the nation’s largest medical college, and the only Academic Health Center in the osteopathic profession. Physicians and administrators at the LECOM Medical Center and Behavioral Health Pavilion in Erie, Pa., saw the growing demand for more physicians and opened LECOM in 1992. With the college and the hospital as the core of a highly innovative medical education system based in Erie, Pa., LECOM strived to add to the quality of life of our neighbors by bringing total health care to our communities. Since opening its Erie campus in 1992, LECOM added campuses in Greensburg, Pa., Elmira Ny., and Bradenton, Fl.
To prepare students for the challenges of modern medicine, LECOM designed a student-centered curriculum that recognizes students’ different learning styles. We offer five learning pathways across our four campuses. The Erie, Pa. campus offers the Lecture Discussion, Problem-Based Learning, and Directed Study pathways as well as Primary Care Scholars, a three-year accelerated pathway that follows DSP curriculum. LECOM at Seton Hill is located on the Seton Hill University campus in Greensburg, Pa. and offers Problem-Based Learning and the Accelerated Physician Assistant Pathway – an accelerated 3-year program designed for current Physician Assistants that follows the PBL curriculum. The Elmira, Ny., and Bradenton, Fl. campuses focus solely on Problem-Based Learning. Learn more about the pathways at https://lecom.edu/college-of-osteopathic-medicine/com-program/
The majority of LECOM graduates become primary care physicians who enter the fields of family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics or Ob/Gyn. U.S. News & World Report ranks LECOM among the top medical colleges for graduating primary care physicians.

Curricular Offerings
To prepare students for the challenges of modern medicine, LECOM designed a student-centered curriculum that recognizes students’ different learning styles. We offer five learning pathways across our four campuses leading to a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree. In years three and four, students complete clinical rotations at more than 90 hospitals and clinics throughout the United States, including regional clinical campuses in Pennsylvania, Florida, New York, and Missouri.
Lecture Discussion Pathway (LDP): Lecture presentations and laboratories are at the heart of the traditional Lecture/Discussion Pathway. The curriculum starts with basic sciences and introductions to clinical education, then transitions to a systems-based model in the second semester. This is a four-year pathway offered at the Erie campus only. Learn more here: https://lecom.edu/college-of-osteopathic-medicine/com-pathways/com-ldp/?dc=erie
Directed Study Pathway (DSP): The Direct Study Pathway utilizes a curriculum delivery model that is mostly independent of faculty lectures. DSP students are given modules that contain highly organized and specific learning objectives that are used in conjunction with the assigned text to drive learning. DSP requires students to have well-developed organizational and time-management skills. This is a four-year pathway offered at the Erie campus only. Learn more here: https://lecom.edu/college-of-osteopathic-medicine/com-pathways/com-dsp/?dc=erie
Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Pathway: The PBL process emphasizes self-directed study with a team approach. In the PBL Pathway, the student class is divided into small groups who study patient cases, in place of a traditional lecture program, to provide the context for acquiring and understanding medical science. With each case, the student group identifies learning issues – key topics relevant to the case and underlying medical science – that they then study independently between meetings. This clinically based pathway is offered at all of our campuses, but Seton Hill, Elmira, and Bradenton focus solely on the PBL pathway. Learn more here: https://lecom.edu/college-of-osteopathic-medicine/com-pathways/com-pbl/?dc=erie
Primary Care Scholars Pathway (PCSP): Primary Care Scholars receive a four-year medical education in just three years. Students attend class year-round and follow the DSP curriculum. PCSP students must make a commitment to complete a residency in family medicine or general internal medicine and practice in primary care for five years after residency. This pathway is offered at the Erie campus only. Learn more here: https://lecom.edu/college-of-osteopathic-medicine/com-pathways/pcsp/?dc=erie
Accelerated Physician Assistant Pathway (APAP): Certified physician assistants (PA-C) interested in expanding their education and practicing independently now have an affordable and accelerated pathway to earn a DO degree and license. This pathway follows the PBL curriculum and is only offered at the Seton Hill campus. Learn more here: https://lecom.edu/college-of-osteopathic-medicine/com-pathways/apap/?dc=erie

Admissions
LECOM follows a rolling admissions cycle. An applicant’s first step is submitting a primary application to AACOMAS. AACOMAS collates materials, computes grades**, and transmits standardized information to LECOM. LECOM requires the submission of either a single letter of recommendation from a premedical or pre-health committee, or two letters of recommendation from core science professors from the applicant’s undergraduate or graduate institution. When complete, applications are screened and qualified applicants receive an email from LECOM inviting them to complete a web-based Supplemental Application.
LECOM’s Academic Index Score (AIS) is an alternative to the MCAT. In place of the MCAT, applicants may use an AIS - a calculation based on the applicant's overall undergraduate or graduate GPA, and SAT/ACT scores from high school. LECOM recognizes diversity of backgrounds in applicants. While scores on standardized tests do not solely relate to becoming a great physician, utilizing the AIS contributes to our ability to provide a holistic review of applicants.
Following receipt of all necessary documentation, the application is reviewed by the Admissions Committee. Committee members evaluate candidates according to LECOM’s Institutional Student Learning Outcomes of discipline knowledge, professionalism, and osteopathic philosophy. Candidates that meet these criteria are invited to complete a virtual interview.
Following the interview, the Admissions Committee conducts a second review of the applicant-submitted information and interview evaluations. Applicants who have demonstrated to the Committee that they are qualified for admission are extended an offer of acceptance to the College of Medicine.
**LECOM does not accept AP or IB credits for core science (Biology, chemistry, physics) prerequisite courses. AP or IB credits can be accepted for English or Behavorial Science prerequisite courses under the conditions that the student scored a 3 or better on the AP test or scored a 5 or better on the IB test. Students will be required to provide official documentation of the score.
